The crank will be pinned, Gareth has the kit he said i could borrow. I just need to source some appropriate sized pins

I have a full kit with pins going spare that I didn't use from the Maggie kit if it will help.
I had the crank out so keyed it properly

If you mount the IC lower you will get more flow to the rad. There is plenty of room.

Have you still got the crash bar?

[Behold81]

Most of it!!! We had to cut a chunk out. Kept the rad and the ac

The intercooler pipes run inside the crash bar on G's set-up.

Noble offer. Take it G.

[Behold81]

It can with this. You just cut a bit mor from the bar.

What are the dimensions on the intercooler as it seems to fill the space?

[gsd2000]

a bit of an update.

The gearbox, clutch and bellhousing are all stripped, the engine is pretty much ready to come out which is the job for tomorrow as long as it doesnt rain too hard

old plugs



gearbox out

You must be getting good at pulling the gearbox out now!!!

Did you unbolt it from the bellhousing first??

That is the easiest way to remove it.

[gsd2000]

The gearbox was easy to remove. Just time consuming removing everything and getting the car high enough.

The gearbox jack was well worth the money

You are going to need the extra power to keep up on the way to vasteras.
You guys getting all excited for the mile run need to come and do the 1000 mile run.
Let's see intake temps then.
Na ftw..

It's more like 2600 mile round trip from Derby for me

Fair enough I've done a couple but never even thought about doing it that way

I do have the advantage of a ramp & air tools though

Must admit, I was unaware of the BTR trunion upgrade, but the circlips look good and beefy (similar to the Summit kit which I went for).

Titanium retainers

Even with those.....it's still far easier to remove box first, then bellhousing.
